PSA = Pirate Service Announcement?

but then in the recommended section it does not show someone who actually knows shit about fitness and steroids etc how would they know.

It is kind of funny that you think the recommendations would be informative instead of some shill peddling the same "you can do it with 5000 calories and exercise" bullshit. A rabbit hole is going further down the same hole.

It isn't about people better than you. It is about idealized and generally unrealistic body standards.

The new guidelines, now introduced in the UK and around the world, apply to content that: idealises some physical features over others, such as beauty routines to make your nose look slimmer; idealises fitness or body weights, such as exercise routines that encourage pursuing a certain look; or encourages social aggression, such as physical intimidation.

These are not videos about getting to a healthy weight and exercise routine. "Certain look" is a crappilly phrased way of saying unrealistic body standards, but that is what it means.

The headline does describe the article. The article has more detail about the motivations and nuance of why certain weight and fitness videos are being promoted less to children.

The platform will still allow 13- to 17-year-olds to view the videos, but its algorithms will not push young users down related content “rabbit holes” afterwards.

If they included rabbit hole in the title, it would still be necessary for a lot of people unaware of the term to read the article to find out what that phrase means.

But a better system would for paying creators would be one of attribution and reward, where everyone can read whatever they want or stream whatever they want, and artists would be paid based on their number of views.

Which would be enforced through copyright...

Yeah, tankie bullshit deserves to be heard because of an open mind, but not fascist bullshit.

Both are bullshit and should be blocked.

It was fine when the limited duration was a reasonable number of years. Anything over 30 years max before being in the public domain is too long.

In my experience all comments in the chain after the blocked user are not displayed.

I want to block the users as a group even if the instance at which I am registered does not defederate.

Lemmy.ml and hexbear were the first two I blocked and have zero regrets.

I blocked a few others because the content didn't interest me and my preference is to browse on All instead of Subscribed so I can find content in communities I did not know existed. For example I blocked lemmynsfw because I didn't want the content to come up while browing in public.

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.
